Best Make-up and Skincare Selection, Best Customer Service – I recently re-located to Portsmouth, NH from New York City. I thought I was going to have to travel to Boston to get my make-up and skin-care, until after a recommendation from one of my friends, that I try Making Faces. I can not tell you how incredibly excited I am to have found this place!! Not only do they have all of the lines that I used in New York, they have lines and products I had never even heard of, and have now fallen in love with! The location could n... read more
Waste of time – I went into Making Faces despite the terrible reviews and having been their before myself, but I needed my face wash and didnt want to wait to order it online... so against my better judgement I went in. The staff didn't even acknowledge me and when I went to the counter with my face wash the girl tried to sell me something else and when I said i wasn't interested she got mad and told me if I wasn'tusing a full line then why even bother with the face wash... I asked to speak to the owner but she didn't even c... read more
one of my best discoveries. – I first discovered Making Faces when visiting my mother in law in NH. I was greeted as soon as I walked into the boutique by the owner, Annie. Such a doll. She made me feel as if I were the only person in the store and really took the time to hear my concerns that I've had with previous make up lines. I have very sensitive skin and am very concerned with anti-aging and the newest technology. She was able to place me in a new skin care routine that was catered to my own preferences and skin type.... read more
Amazing selection, great staff! – Making Faces is an absolute gem! I am excited to spred the word that this is by far one of the best beauty boutiques I have ever visited, and I have seen my fair share! Everything is very clean and organized. The girls working in this boutique are very friendly and welcoming and the owner is a doll! There is a great selection of products to choose from including my favorite, stila! I am not from New Hampshire but I will be sure to stop back into Making Faces next time I am in town! By the wa... read more
snobby staff, dirty place. – If you want to be treated disrespectfully by some young unprofessional girls then please try this place out. Not only this place has limited products they are always out of the few products they do offer. The girls working there are little 20 something year old inspired pricecesses and they make you look like street walkers after they do your makeup. One of the girls had an attitude with me when I questioned her about her sharing the same lip brush as me and the lady before me without sanitizing ... read more
My favorite makeup boutique! – i had to write a review because I just love Making Faces! I've been going to them since they opened about 5 years ago, and have only had great experiences. They don't carry a ton of brands (like a Sephora) but they do present a really well-researched and edited collection of skincare and makeup. I find the staff to be as nice to me as they are to my 13-year old daughter, and they give me the same level of personalized and friendly attention whether I'm replenishing, seeking something completely... read more
Young Inexperienced Staff - Low Inventory – In February 2008, I had a meeting in Portsmouth and finally got to visit a few of the Portsmouth boutiques that I had been wanting to visit. When I went into Making Faces the sales staff never greeted me. They were too busy putting on their own makeup. When I asked for help it seemed like they were out of everything. Then the sales woman became pushy and almost insulting when I didn't want to buy a substitute product that she suggested. I was told by a local store clerk that the ow... read more
Online ordering is so much better... – The sales staff during my numerous visits (to both the Portsmouth and Portland, ME locations) have been pushy and rude. The store never seems to have any inventory and you are pretty much guaranteed a better deal when shopping online. Plus, you don't have to deal with the employees! I enjoy shopping locally but with the high pressure and blasting music I do not think I will be shopping at this boutique any longer.
Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. – The owner is a decaying woman who sends customers and staff running. When the employees look so unkempt, how am I supposed to take their advice? My experiences have been among the worst anywhere. The brands are boring, the people are rude AND PUSHY. Save your life and just go to Sephora.
